    • Abstract:
      Derek Brockington, a 26-year-old artist and social media coordinator for the Dance Theatre of Harlem, has been able to adapt and thrive during the Covid-19 quarantine. He took on marketing responsibilities and created a video called "Dancing Through Harlem," which gained viral attention and was even featured on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." Brockington's work not only brought attention to the dance company but also showcased the beauty of Harlem, a neighborhood often overlooked. He credits the Dance Theatre of Harlem for providing him with a sense of belonging and inspiration as a Black dancer. [Extracted from the article]
